Intratracheal Anesthesia by Improvised —Intratracheal anaesthesia may be satisfactorily ad-ministered by employing a technic similar to that described 316 ANAESTHESIA for the emergency intrapharyngeal method. When thismethod is employed, we introduce a tube directly into thetrachea, attaching the distal end to a tube which connectsit to a funnel as described above. This method is much.

Anapparatus similar to the one shown in Fig. 127 has beenrepeatedly used with much success. The danger of such a method in inexperienced hands is EMERGENCY AN/ESTHESIA 317 much greater than that described on page 159, but itsusefulness where indicated, in the absence of the usualapparatus, can hardly be denied. By such a method it isimpossible to obtain positive intrapulmonary pressure. Accessories to Emergency Anaesthesia.—A mouthwedge, necessary when masseteric spasm and cyanosisoccur, may easily be improvised by whittling a piece ofhard wood in the form shown in Fig. 13. A breathing tube, acting in the capacity of the Connellthroat tube, Fig. 14, may readily be made from a five-inchpiece of rectal tube or other stout tubing having a diameterof at least half an inch.
